    "content": "stomach, people get so emotional. Today, listening to Hon. Ichung'wah, I am shocked because just the other day he was against the idea of reducing taxes, saying that we should tax, and use the money to feed the hungry. However, Hon. Speaker we need to be clear on what this House wants to do. What is the situation as it obtains? The situation as it obtains is that unga is exempted. Now, the option that is going to be available is to zero-rate it for six months during this COVID-19 period. Between exempt and zero-rating, zero-rating is better. Now, what we are trying to do is to make consumers enjoy lower prices - and I am putting it in quotes. I hope my gestures can be seen, I wish it could be recorded - by zero-rating. Hon. Speaker, why I support six months is because there is a concern that even when we reduce taxation, businesspeople are the net beneficiaries and not the consumers. Therefore, we want to test for six months. I am told Hon. Ichung'wah could be a businessman."
